We at Imprint Tours believe travel broadens horizons, introduces new ways to see the world, equips us with a new frame of reference for evaluating our own society, breaks down prejudice, and promotes global understanding. Therefore, we endeavor to “Travel with Intent”: an intention to take a reflective, introspective approach; connect with the cultures we visit; and balance the enjoyment of discovery with responsible travel. We want our “imprint” on the planet to be light and our “imprint” on the local culture to be positive.

The tour is advertised as having 24-26 people. There were 28 on the Vietnam portion of the tour and 38 on the Cambodia portion of the tour making it unfeasible to take such a large crowd through the various temples and everyone able to see or hear the guide. The Halong Bay boat was definitely substandard and it didn't seem as though it was prequalified. The tour operator seemed to think he was entertaining 20 year olds. Additionally, one of the single rooms was uninhabitable and rather than the tour manager (who no one could figure out what her job was exactly) switching her room (one of the best on the ship) with a paying customer, he had to stay on another ship for the evening. The boat ran out of drinking water more than once and the maintance person had the day off. It didn't even seem as though they were expecting us and it was thrown together at the last minute. I would not recommend Imprint to my friends and do not feel it was worth the high price.

Trish did a good overall job of managing the group and the guides, Bon and Sophea were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, approachable and personable. The cooking class in Vietnam and the cultural show in Siem Reap stood out for us. The hotels were very good. The boat on Halong Bay and the homestay were a little rustic for me, though my wife found the latter to be fine. It seemed that there was not as much free time as with the other Imprint tour we had taken, which was a negative for us. I know we returned to the hotel later than anticipated a couple of times, which may have helped to cause this. We did not like that 12 people were added to the tour for the Cambodia extension. For us it made the group unwieldly and negatively impacted the group dynamic that had developed over the Vietnam portion of the tour. It was less than ideal seeing the temples in a group of 38 people.

Having never been to Guatemala before, I really didn’t know what to expect. Truthfully, I thought it would be a country with little to offer. Not so! This was an amazing trip from start to finish. The destinations were great, the hotels were top notch and the activities were really fun and educational. Antigua is an eye opener with its cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings and smoking volcanoes. Lake Atitlan, formed from the caldera of an ancient volcano and rimmed with several beautiful villages and more volcanos, is an amazing sight. Tikal, one of the largest Mayan cities, is humbling with is immense size, dating back thousands of years. Both the wife and I give Imprint tours 2 thumbs up!

The Amazon jungle lodge with individual open air cabanas was amazing! Waking up to red holler monkeys and birds calling will be a life memory. The food was amazing at the lodge. Just loved all the wildlife here and the local guides were knowledgeable, fun and interesting to journey with. Jungle walk on suspension bridges was scary but fun! You gotta do it :) The Ollantaytambo village lunch at a textile conclave was the highlight of this trip for me, as a quilter. The women were so warm and welcoming. The presentation of their weaving craft was amazing from natural llama wool to natural dying techniques to loom weaving resulting in beautiful wearable art. Just fantastic! Of course Machu Picchu was breathtaking. I can check this off my bucket list ✔️ But there were SOOO many people there, that I wasn’t expecting. Still very much worth seeing. Our tour director William was the best! Overall a fun trip. (I’ll pass on Lima-just another BIG dirty congested city. Glad we only stayed one night.

We had a great time on the China OBT-I tour. It felt quite adventurous to be the only westerners in just about every location we visited. The friendly Chinese people and the learned proficiency with Google Translate, made it pretty painless to visit these off the beaten track locations. The sites we visited were spectacular, and the well developed infrastructure, made the visit enjoyable
